Skills Development Fund

This State of Texas program assists community and technical colleges in financing customized job training for local businesses.  The fund will provide training for specific skills for workers who will be hired by the business.  A business that forms partnerships with local community colleges and technical schools or the higher education extension agency may apply through that training institution to the Texas Workforce Commission for funding. Incumbent (existing) worker training does qualify for the program; however, the application is a competitive process and generally projects creating new jobs score higher.
